Artwork of facial sinuses & tonsils (sinusitis)
Sinusitis: artwork of a human face showing the position of the various sinuses, the air-filled cavities lined with mucous membranes that are located in the cheeks and above & between the eyes in the facial bones. The sinuses are coloured red, and appear to connect the ear with the nose. Secretion of mucous by the sinus lining acts as a trap against microorganisms & foreign particles. Sinusitis is often caused by infection spreading from the nose; symptoms include headache & soreness & a discharge may be passed through the nose. A possible complication is the spread of infection to the meninges (the membranes enclosing the brain) causing meningitis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate artwork of facial sinuses and tonsils, specifically highlighting sinusitis. The human face depicted in this image reveals the precise location of various sinuses, which are air-filled cavities lined with mucous membranes found in the cheeks and between the eyes within the facial bones. These sinuses, represented by a vibrant red coloration, appear to establish a connection between the ear and nose. The secretion of mucus by these sinus linings serves as an effective trap against microorganisms and foreign particles. However, sinusitis often arises when infections spread from the nasal passages. This condition manifests through symptoms such as headaches, soreness, and nasal discharge. As we delve deeper into understanding this medical disorder captured artistically here, it is crucial to acknowledge its potential complications. Sinusitis can lead to infection spreading to the meninges—the protective membranes that enclose our brain—causing meningitis. Through this remarkable piece of art created by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both disease pathology and healthcare practices related to sinusitis. It reminds us of how interconnected our bodily systems are while emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment for optimal health outcomes.
